gillothen's review against another edition
4.0

Read as part of the Shakespeare Institute's 2019 readathon: #Websterthon.
ETA: Re-read as part of the online Reading Early Plays readathon in the dank Covid-19-hit autumn of 2020. Some sexual and race issues here which are distinctly problematic to a modern reader, but despite having a trio of authors it fits together quite well.
